(Emile Verhaeren)
Oh! les éveils des bourgades sous l'or des branches,
Où courent la lumière et l'ombre -- et les roseaux
Et les aiguilles d'or des insectes des eaux
Et les barres des ponts de bois et leurs croix blanches.
Et le pré plein de fleurs et l'écurie en planches
Et le bousculement des baquets et des seaux
Autour de la mangeoire où grouillent les pourceaux,
Et la servante, avec du cru soleil aux manches.
Ces nets éveils dans les matins! - Des mantelets,
De bonnets blancs et des sarraus, par troupelets,
Gagnaient le bourg et son clocher couleur de craie.
Pommes et bigarreaux! - Et, par-dessus la haie
Luisaient les beaux fruits mÛrs, et, dans le verger clair,
Brusque, comme un sursaut, claquait du linge en l'air

Sunday Morning
Oh! awakenings of the villages under the gold branches,
Where to run the light and shade - and reeds
And gold needles water insects
Bars and wooden bridges and white crosses.
And the meadow full of flowers and stable boards
And jostling tubs and buckets
Around the manger swarming swine,
And the maid, with raw sun sleeves.
These net awakenings in the morning! - The mantles,
White hats and coats, for troupelets,
Earned the town and colored chalk steeple.
Apples and cherries! - And, over the hedge
Gleamed beautiful ripe fruit, and, in the light orchard
Brusque, as a start, slammed the machine in the air yard
Explication:
Wow... this "Sunday Morning" is a marvelous jigsaw thus it makes Ardhi a bit hard for juggling each word of it. At. the first stanza, it shows the atmosphere of purity. It shows the mindset of a person who clear and optimistic. Semiotic-ally it can be showed from the phrase "wooden bridges" and "white crosses", as if there's a lot of hope to find out.
Going to the second stanza, many "and"s here are showing about how thankful the author is. Since many blessings that the author gets and it comes continuously.
The third stanza explored which happiness has come from the very early morning. Preparing suits to run activities. Activities have been described as "troupelets", a kind of Israeli traditional dance. Indeed, seizing the time of each activity could be meaningful (earned the town and colored chalk steeple).
Simple, yes the last stanza teaches us to keep optimistic and spread spirit of happiness like shown in "slammed the machine in the air yard" as if everybody could breath the air of the spirit itself.
This poem was written by Emile Verhaeren in 1883. taken from the book "Les Forces tumultueuses et autres poemes". Ardhi had bought this book at the event "Les Printemps Des Poetes" at Francais Institut - Yogyakarta, 2007.
